Jake Paul revealed how much he was offering Tommy Fury to fight live on Netflix, but deleted his post.

Paul beat Tyson, 58, by unanimous decision in an eight-round heavyweight bout to improve to 11-1 in his professional career.

His only career loss came against rage, who defeated him on points in a heavyweight bout in Saudi Arabia in February 2023. But according to Paul, there was a lucrative offer on the table for Fury to have a rematch with Paul live on Netflix.

“Offered Fury $8 million to fight on Netflix,” Paul said in a post that has since been deleted.

“He gave it up and now he’s fighting an MMA fighter… Now tell me who’s running? A stupid dad controls the child, protects him from the inevitable.”

During the Tyson fight, Paul boasted that he would earn around $40 million (£31.1 million) from the fight, while “Iron” Mike would earn around $20 million for his return.

After defeating Paul, Fury turned his attention to fellow YouTuber KSI and won again by unanimous decision after the showdown in Manchester in October 2023.

After a long layoff following a necessary surgery, Fury returns to the ring against his ex UFC fighter Darren Thiel returned to his hometown on January 18 on the Misfits & DAZN: X Series 20 card.

“I’m an MMA fighter, so if I want to kick or elbow you in the face, I will, and there’s nothing anyone can do about it.”
